OT (dumb socket size question)

27/32 I don't know if they even make sockets in 32's of
an inch anymore but I have a ton of old ones around here.
Hand me downs from my dad and grandfather.
 
at our hunting cabin the faucet in our shower has a plug in the bottom that I would like to take out over the winter to aid in draining. do you think any of my sockets or wrenches fit ? heck no! the fixture is as old as the hills so I doubt it is metric. but ya never know.
 
I know you said "SAE" but if you actually NEED a socket to try, a 21mm would be in between, as well. Closer to 13/16" than 7/8", though.
 
I have taken a metric wrench and filed one side until it fits what I want. I have also cut the head off a open end wrench drilled a hole in it file it square to make a crows foot.
 
(quoted from post at 11:13:41 09/30/18) is there a SAE size between 13/16 and 7/8 ?

thanks.

I have a Metrinch socket set that never fails when I run into a problem like that. It was really worth the price I paid for it.
 
I understand your question, but there are no ba$turd sizes on Ford Tractors if that is your project. That's part of the charm of the design back then -everything was in standard INCH fractional dimensions. Bolt lengths were all made so only 1-2 threads were protruding after nut was fastened. This was so the farmer wouldn't catch his shirt or pants on one and tear them. Not so today. E.G, p/n 355472, 5/16-24 x .56 Carriage Bolt. The length listed at 9/16" long is no longer made. You must get a 5/8 or 3/4 long one and grind it down. Oh, and forget about fine thread carriage bolts. Those are no longer made in the industry anymore either, only coarse thread. Dennis Carpenter is the only one who makes specific fine thread carriage bolts exclusive to Ford Tractors, exact-as-original in size and length.
